_1 “Oh, what does Ms.
Xiao wish to exchange with me?” Lv Zhong finally ended his cultivation, reluctantly looking at Xiaoyufeì with a question lingering in his eyes.
“This…” Xiaoyufeì hesitated for a moment, and then went silent.
However, even though her lips weren’t moving, Lv Zhong suddenly could hear her voice in his mind: “Lv Zhong, don’t be surprised.
I’m communicating with you through voice transmission.
If you paint a picture for me, I can give you a martial arts manuscript or accept you into my sect.
Hearing this, Lv Zhong chuckled inwardly.
He, as a cultivator stronger than Xiaoyufeì, would never be interested in a mere martial arts manuscript.
Possessing the memory of Plague God, he wouldn’t even consider the various cultivation methods of Xuan Shui Sword Pavilion to be anything significant.
However, seeing Xiaoyufeì so desperate to ask him for a favor, Lv Zhong was suddenly in the mood to tease her.
Xiao, what’s the use of studying martial arts in the modern world?
I have no interest in it.” Lv Zhong suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into Xiaoyufeì’s ear.
“Uh…” Xiaoyufeì paused, casting an astonished look at Lv Zhong.
She was secretly amazed: No way, does a boy in China not dream of becoming a martial arts master?
Isn’t this kid quite unusual?
Wordlessly looking at Lv Zhong, Xiaoyufeì switched gears, transmitting her voice again: “Lv Zhong, have you heard of ‘cultivation’?”
Xiaoyufeì had to throw out a bigger bait!
In this day and age, which young person wouldn’t know of the concept of ‘becoming immortal through cultivation’?
Lv Zhong was incredibly intelligent and possessed grandmaster-level skills in calligraphy and painting.
Recruiting him into the Xuan Shui Sword Pavilion would be a very profitable transaction.
From Xiaoyufeì’s perspective, even if Lv Zhong’s talent for cultivation was lackluster, it wouldn’t matter.
After all, her Xuan Shui Sword Pavilion sought Lv Zhong’s calligraphy and painting abilities, not his physical constitution for cultivation.
Xiao, are you going to tell me that you are a cultivator?” Lv Zhong once again lowered his voice, a touch of mischief flashing across his face and a sly smile curled up the corners of his mouth.
Never having expected Lv Zhong to tease her, Xiaoyufeì paused, subconsciously nodding in response as she wondered what he was getting at.
“Can cultivation grant immortality?” Lv Zhong asked.
Xiaoyufeì wanted to say yes, but to her knowledge, no cultivator had truly attained immortality.
However, she was certain that cultivation could gradually prolong life.
“Naturally, cultivation doesn’t bestow immortality all at once.
However, as one’s level of cultivation improves, one’s lifespan can be increased gradually.
So theoretically, by cultivating one may attain immortality.” Xiaoyufeì didn’t want to discourage Lv Zhong’s enthusiasm, thus she chose to put a positive spin on her response.
“Oh?” Lv Zhong looked oddly at Xiaoyufeì, and suddenly whispered, “So, are you a Nascent Soul Stage expert, Ms.
Or perhaps an Astral Projection Stage master?”
Xiaoyufeì was taken aback, forcing a chuckle and shaking her head.
Maybe someone on Earth might have achieved it, but she wouldn’t know.
But a Leaving Aperture Stage master, she suspects there would be none on Earth!
“Golden Core Stage?” Lv Zhong inquired again.
Xiaoyufeì gracefully admitted defeat, whispering in reply, “Stop messing around, Lv Zhong.
Very few cultivators reach the Golden Core Stage.
Even among our sect, the Xuan Shui Sword Pavilion, there is nobody of such rank.”
“There is not even a single Golden Core Stage master?
Can it even be considered a cultivation sect?
I am not interested in cultivating with you.
It seems too unpromising — ” Lv Zhong finished his sentence and shook his head dismissively.
Xiaoyufeì was rendered speechless to the extreme, seeing the disdain in the eyes of the boy beside her, even her good temper was not enough to suppress the urge to throw him out of the window.
“Lv Zhong, do you think the teacher is beautiful?” Since neither martial prowess nor cultivation potential could tempt Lv Zhong, Xiaoyufeì had a new idea — seducing him with beauty.
“Hmm, very beautiful.” Lv Zhong nodded.
Hearing Lv Zhong admit her beauty, Xiaoyufeì felt delighted and quickly transmitted her voice: “But, you don’t know, Ms.
Xiao’s sect is full of little junior female fellows who are even more beautiful than me.
If you agree to join my sect, I can help you make connections, and assist in winning over these beauties —” Feeling quite proud of her clever idea, Xiaoyufeì was confident that Lv Zhong couldn’t resist the temptation of her sect, famous for its dazzling beauties.
“Pfft, what’s so beautiful about those little girls.
I only have eyes for you, Ms.
How about you be my girlfriend?
If that’s the case, I might consider joining your sect and cultivating with you…” Lv Zhong looked at Xiaoyufeì with a playful smirk, speaking in a nonchalant whisper.
How could he have such audacious thoughts?
His response left Xiaoyufeì stunned on the spot.
In an instant, her heart filled with anger, nearly raising her hand to slap Lv Zhong across the face.
However, she noticed the mischief in his eyes, and realised that she had just been teased.
With bitterness welling up inside, she shot Lv Zhong a harsh look and fell silent.
Xiaoyufeì’s vexation and glaring managed to break through her usual composed demeanor, yet it did not diminish her beauty but rather, it added a touch of verve and vitality.
It made Lv Zhong feel that Xiaoyufeì at this moment was more relatable.
Xiao, I was just teasing you.
I can create a painting for you for free.
But you’ll have to wait for a month,” Lv Zhong offered.
“Really?” Upon hearing Lv Zhong’s agreement to create a painting for her, Xiaoyufeì’s heart swelled with joy as she eagerly responded, “Okay, a month it is.”
Even though she didn’t manage to lure Lv Zhong into the Xuan Shui Sword Pavilion, she was satisfied to have secured a painting from the notably stingy Lv Zhong.
She was aware that even the school principal, Li Ruicun, had made several failed attempts to commission a piece of calligraphy or painting from Lv Zhong.
Moreover, Xiaoyufeì knew that several officials and affluent individuals in Yan City had tried to acquire Lv Zhong’s art.
One prominent female businesswoman even offered a whopping 10 million to purchase a single piece of Lv Zhong’s art but was met with zero interest.
Lv Zhong hadn’t created any art pieces for anyone else ever since.
Despite appearing to be an ordinary kid, Lv Zhong’s determination was extraordinarily strong, able to resist even the allure of a 10-million-dollar offer.
Now that Lv Zhong had agreed to create a painting for her, Xiaoyufeì felt that she had achieved something.
And decided to secure Lv Zhong’s favor for now, perhaps, in the future, she could pull him into her sect.
